Your apartment is located on one of the upper floors of your building: beautiful, bright. But now you have to move house and, certainly, moving high floors is a demanding undertaking which, in all likelihood, excludes the do-it-yourself!
Moving a high floor means taking into consideration a series of further aspects which add to and complicate the already complex traditional work of moving furniture.
In short, a complication that leads us to reflect and evaluate the series of information to be provided to the specialized company that will take care of the move. Different machinery, authorizations, timing and economic commitments will be needed.
So let’s follow, step by step, those precious advices which, when moving from a high floor, can be fundamental.
ASSESSMENT OF THE FURNITURE TO BE MOVED
Make a detailed list of furniture or bulky or delicate objects you intend to move: appropriate choices will be made based on their weight, shape and fragility.
TAKE THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE PASSAGE SPACES: WINDOWS, EXITS, DOORS
Carefully take the measurements of your condominium lift, of the flight of stairs leading to the exit and the dimensions of the doors, windows and entrance door: you will be able to select what can be transported manually on the ground and what, on the other hand, you have to move with specialized machinery or even disassemble.
SUITABLE EQUIPMENT AND SPECIALIZED MACHINERY
The best moving companies have the right equipment, such as specific mechanical lifts, more or less large platforms, mobile cranes, ladder trucks or forklifts and vans, trucks of different load sizes.
AN EYE ON THE ROAD
Provide the dimensions of the street below your apartment with extreme precision, the type of road and the possibility of parking for bulky vehicles.
All of this will serve with absolute priority to the moving company you intend to contact and will serve to produce a quote that is as close to reality as possible.
THE HEIGHT OF THE APARTMENT TO BE MOVED
The height of the apartment to be moved has an important impact on the overall price of the move. The upper floor moving operation takes place carefully and slowly, as it consists of a delicate and complex work divided into successive phases, to be carried out in slow and considered steps.
AND THE OCCUPANCY OF PUBLIC LAND
The occupation of public land is an aspect to be investigated immediately: the quantity of objects, their nature, their weight, will affect the time spent by the mechanical vehicle on public land and, consequently, the price relating to its occupation.
All this will not be an insurmountable problem if, to take care of everything, there will be a serious and specialized company that will carry out your move from A to Z.
The personnel capable of carrying out a move with a platform have uncommon skills: the the work of specialized technicians will have a higher cost, justified by the high technical knowledge of cutting-edge means.
